Get hands-on experience in law enforcement procedures, public safety, forensics, and the legal system. From investigation to defensive tactics, you’ll build the skills and confidence to pursue a career in criminal justice, law, or emergency response.
Learn how law enforcement, legal systems, and public safety professionals work to protect and serve. The Criminal Justice program gives you the training and confidence to take the first step toward a purpose-driven career.
Real-World Scenarios. Real Career Prep.
In the BOCES Criminal Justice program, you won’t just study how the justice system works—you’ll experience it. Students take part in mock crime scenes, drills, courtroom simulations, and physical training. You’ll learn how to think like an investigator, communicate like a professional, and respond like a first responder.
